Hello, BlueSky! This is the official account for ZDoom Wars 2, a FPS/RTS hybrid mod for Doom 2, to be run in the Ultimate ZDoom source port. It is being developed by Captain Ventris and Ariadne. All is subject to change.
The following thread explains what it’s all about. #ZDWars2🧵1/7

Reivers are in. Mean for their size! Their upgrade makes them Stealth (nasty for an air unit, and especially a unit that hurts more in melee). When Blessed (i.e. when spawned during the correct moon phase) they can inflict Plague in melee, which is pretty fucked up.

Pain Elementals are in. We’ll see if I get the other 5 of this wave done this weekend. Got some pointers and got mastery working with the various Pain Elemental spawning calls. Getting REAL familiar with mastery. A projectile spawns a monster which spawns a projectile that spawns a monster, etc.

The ZDoom Discord (which rules) has had this as its logo for years. I think it used to just be during Pride month, but then some bigot whined so it’s just this forever now.

Working on the manual. Other monster entries are usually 3 to a page, but Hell Nobles are pretty complex.

Inspired by @neuralstunner.bsky.social , I have begun throwing notes together for a ZDoom Wars 2 manual. I envision it being like a For Dummies book with little asides to highlight important details. I have made the requisite icons.
If nothing else, this game will be documented.

Stealing this one from my personal account. Who knew having a Doom meme on hand would work out?

I decided that Advanced tutorials would be a good idea. Like the basic ones, two 3-minute videos suffice, but go into some mechanics that could use it, for example an explanation of Hero Talents. I also intend to do a roster overview video to go with the 1 minute faction mechanic tutorials.

Didn’t think about how many people have probably never seen the mediocre ending to Strife before the meme week. It makes sense, it’s not like a zillion people have played it, and why would you doubt Macil?
Here at Strife Meme Week, we aim to educate.
The good ending (where you trust Macil over the Oracle) Blackbird is real and all and kisses you. If you don’t trust Macil when the Oracle tells you he’s a traitor, it turns out Blackbird was the Entity the whole time leading you to get it the Sigil.

Still stand by this one.

Iron Liches are one of my favorite hero designs: They have Ice, Fire, and Wind spells and their Ult is stronger the more of one of those types you have, so you need to specialize. Fire vs elites, Wind vs hordes, and Ice is rounded.
I know this one’s ZDWars specific due to implying a matchup, but Space Marine Corps. was the closest thing to US army I’ve got.

I THINK the Hell Noble is the Unit with the longest actor code so far, at 735 lines. Won’t be surprised if heroes bust 1,500 or so. Sheesh.

W in the chat for the A_RearrangePointers function in UZDoom. I wouldn’t have correct mastery on flemoids spawned by spores spawned by other flemoids without it.
Well, I mean you can directly manipulate pointers in ZScript, but I went with the method that didn’t make me think. You get my point.
